This Is the Perfect Hour

Situated in the heart of Porto, this modern pad is perfectly placed for exploring. Spend your days strolling along the Cais da Ribeira (a seven-minute walk), nibbling on pastel de nata (there's an excellent bakery down the street) and soaking up the history of this characterful city. Boutiques, tapas restaurants, lively bars – you name it, you can walk to it, so there's no doubt that you'll have everything you'll need nearby. Back in the apartment, pour yourself a glass of Vinho Verde and step onto the Juliet balcony to watch the hustle and bustle below. Need to rest your feet? Sprawl out on the sofa, instead, or if you're in the mood to cook, rustle up something quick in the kitchenette and share your fare around the dining table. The design is sleek, minimal and bright, thanks to the traditional windows and white colour scheme. It may not be the cosiest home in our collection, but we think the excellent location and light-filled living space will do nicely for a romantic getaway to Porto.
